This past weekend, Win and Rachel (our new co-teachers/neighbors), P'Gee (our Thai mother ), and Randi and I took in some local sights. We visited the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market; thanks to P'Gee's police connections, while wearing large straw hats, we enjoyed a free long-boat ride. 
Later we bused it to Kanchanaburi. We visited the Allied War Cemetery, the Jeath War Museum, and the Kwai River Bridge. Much to our surprise, we stayed for free in a message room located in a restaurant that was owned by a former student of P'Gee's. In the evening, we enjoyed listening to P'Gee and her former student serenade us with karaoke. After a few bottles of Chang and some Thai whiskey, we enthusiastically joined them!
On Sunday, we hiked the Erawan Falls (all 7 of them!) and even swam in
the cool, fish infested waters. While I was chased out of the water by the fish, no one else seemed to mind the fish nibbling at their feet.~ Stacy
